Benjamin Moore

Crystalline

AF-485

Crystalline is a muted, silvery jade with a subtle green undertone that keeps it from reading as a pure gray. It has an LRV of 62.81, placing it in the mid-light range where it reflects a moderate amount of light without appearing overly bright. The green cast is quiet but present, especially in daylight.

It pairs well with Benjamin Moore's Simply White or Classic Gray for a neutral anchor, while Hale Navy provides a darker counterpoint. Wythe Blue and Gray Cashmere echo its cool green base.

Crystalline in Different Light

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
